There is one Holy God, creator of heaven and earth. He is Lord of all life. To Him we are beholden for our life in all its meaning and its hope. Monotheism for the Christian means that anything else which is put in the place of our loyalty to God is an idol. The worship of national power, or racial prestige, or financial success, or cultural tradition, is a violation of the one truth about life, that all created things come from God. To commit life to the one true God is to refuse to have any other gods at all. Values there are in abundance, interests, plans, programs, loyalties to family and nation. But these are not gods; they do not save us; they are not holy in themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11541]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We may eventually come to realize that chastity is no more a virtue than malnutrition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22558]]></link><description><![CDATA[We may eventually come to realize that chastity is no more a virtue than malnutrition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winter is coming back in a very big way, and you need to be prepared for an extended period of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Winter is coming back in a very big way, and you need to be prepared for an extended period of very cold weather.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4276]]></link><description><![CDATA[My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit.
